DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2058-098]
Avista Corporation; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed Avista Corporation's application for an amendment to the
license for the Clark Fork Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No.
2058), and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
proposed amendment. The licensee proposes to construct and operate a
permanent upstream fish passage facility at the project's Cabinet Gorge
development. The project is located on the Clark Fork River in Bonner
County, Idaho and Sanders County, Montana and occupies federal land
within the Idaho Panhandle, Lolo, and Kootenai National Forests
administered by the U.S. Forest Service.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed amendment to the license, and
concludes that the proposed amendment, with appropriate environmental
protective measures, would not constitute a major federal action that
would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website at
www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number excluding
the last three digits in the docket number field to access the
document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
